swimmedia: 1) What should I do to get myself registered at my address? Should I just go there again and lie, saying I got off the plane yesterday. All you need to do is go to the Urzad Miasta with the owners of the property and your passport. It's quite painless - in theory. The reality is that many owners of flats won't register you for whatever reason - some out of fear that they won't be able to remove you, some because they don't want anyone to find out that they're renting the flat out. If you own it, then it should be much easier.
When you go there, simply tell them that you arrived a few days ago. There's absolutely no way of checking (last four entries into the Schengen zone, I've simply had a quick look at the passport, no scans/etc) when you actually entered Poland for them - so don't worry about that.
I would talk to the tax office about you having paid taxes. It's quite likely that they didn't pay taxes for you at all - although it is possible that they did, it would seem quite likely that they were simply pocketing the 19% or whatever for themselves.
